Product Description

A container straddle carrier is a type of mobile equipment used for lifting and transporting shipping containers within container terminals, ports, and storage yards. It straddles the container, lifting it from the top and carrying it over short distances. Straddle Carriers pick up and carry containers while straddling their load and connecting to the top lifting points via a container spreader. Straddle carriers are highly efficient for moving containers between the stacking yard and transportation vehicles such as trucks and trains.
